Abstract: While still short of being entirely mainstream there does appear to be a growing recognition in both policy circles and academia that economic development is not brought about by autonomous profitmaximising agents interacting anonymously through equilibrium markets.1 Rather, economic development is an inherently disequilibric process involving interactive and institutionally embedded processes in broader systems of firms, governments, research centres, universities, consultants, and other entities. These systems can tap into stocks of global knowledge and technologies, assimilate and adapt it to local circumstances, and create new knowledge or technologies. Such broader production systems are conceptualised in several different ways in the literature, e.g. Lundvall et al.’s ‘national innovation systems’, Richard Whitley’s ‘business systems’, and Sanjaya Lall’s concept of ‘industrial technology development’. This paper identifies and outlines four different systemic approaches to economic development. All four approaches have primarily been developed to address nationally based institutional systems in advanced economies. Both the ontological premises and the policy implications of these systemic approaches depart distinctly from the conventional orthodoxy on economic development as articulated in the ‘Washington Consensus’ and its later derivatives. The article goes on to explore which policy implications the adoption of such a systemic view might have for the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD).

The Emergence of Environmental Management AccountingGeorg, Susse (København, 2004)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Based on a study of the emergence of EMA as a new managerial domain and of how EMA costs the environment, the paper examines the institutionalisation of EMA. This is accomplished by linking EMA to the broader discourse of economic efficiency. Moreover, the paper contends that the institutionalisation of EMA is supported through the legitimacy it produces for individuals (notably environmental managers) and organizations. Through the use of different metrics, EMA frames the environment in terms of the well known – money – and establishes equivalence between the actions to protect the environment and changes in the bottom line.

Abstract: Jeg har valgt at benytte denne anledning til at introducere et nyt forskningsfelt, som CBS International Center for Business and Politics har prioriteret som et af sine fem indsatsområder. Vi kalder det "institutionel konkurrence på mediemarkedet" og signalerer derved nogle frontale opgør med traditionelle dogmer i dansk medieforskning: For det første ser vi medierne som et marked for meninger, varer og tjenesteydelser – ikke primært som en kulturel offentlighed med ensidig fokus på public service. For det andet betragter vi medievirksomhed i et samfundsvidenskabeligt ledelsesperspektiv – ikke primært i et journalistisk medarbejderperspektiv eller et ideologikritisk licensbetalerperspektiv.For det tredje betragter vi konkurrencen på mediemarkedet som et institutionelt fænomen – ikke alene som noget driftsøkonomisk betinget. Vi forsøger kort sagt at finde en tredje vej mellem økonomisk determinisme og politisk reguleringsoptimisme. Derved placeres medievirksomhed som en institutionaliseret praksis i skæringspunktet mellem marked og politik. Vi anerkender, at dagspresse, radio og tv i Danmark er vokset ud af en publicistisk tradition med vægt på idealer om ytringsfrihed, demokrati og folkeoplysning. Men vi understreger samtidig, at medievirksomheden world-wide er big business – og at det får stadig større betydning for dansk konkurrenceevne og erhvervsudvikling mere alment. Ikke kun som kanal for andres meninger, men som en politisk aktør og et potentielt erhvervslokomotiv i den såkaldte oplevelsesøkonomi. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7368 Files in this item: 1

Institutionelt brud i den offentlige moderniseringspolitik? OPP og udlicitering i de danske kommunerHelby Petersen, Ole; Ring Christensen, Lasse (, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Vi stiller os i dette paper kritisk spørgende til det nye i OPP og søger at belyse, om OPP markerer et institutionelt brud med det i dansk moderniseringspolitik velkendte begreb udlicitering. Vi giver svar gennem to del-analyser. Først sammenlignes nøgletal for danske kommuners brug af udlicitering og arbejde med OPP-modellen. Analysen viser, at OPP-arbejdet overvejende foregår i større kommuner med en gennemsnitlig økonomi og en ideologisk sammensætning på borgmesterposterne på linje med gennemsnittet i landets kommuner. Hvorimod kommuner med højt udliciteringsniveau oftest ledes af borgerlige borgmestre, så er OPP-kommunerne økonomisk og ideologisk på linje med gennemsnittet af landets kommuner. I anden delanalyse kigger vi på reguleringsrammen for brug af henholdsvis OPP og udlicitering. Det kommunale selvstyre og de årlige kommuneaftaler fungerer som en institutionel ramme omkring de reguleringstiltag, som regeringen har mulighed for at anvende. Fælles for reguleringen af kommunernes udlicitering og OPP ligger et bærende princip om metodefrihed i opgaveløsningen. Hvor grænserne for metodefriheden går, er dog ikke en fastlåst størrelse, men genstand for løbende forhandling mellem det statslige og kommunale niveau. Vi konkluderer, at OPP på centrale parametre ikke blot er en forlængelse af udlicitering, men en selvstændig og bemærkelsesværdig kontraktmodel, som er ved at institutionaliseres i de danske kommuner.

Ludwig M. Lachmann’s Interpretative InstitutionalismFoss, Nicolai J.; Garzarelli, Giampaolo (København, 2006)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The paper revisits the socioeconomic theory of the Austrian School economist Ludwig M. Lachmann. By showing that the common claim that Lachmann’s idiosyncratic (read: eclectic and multidisciplinary) approach to economics entails nihilism is unfounded, it reaches the following conclusions. (1) Lachmann held a sophisticated institutional position to economics that anticipated developments in contemporary new institutional economics. (2) Lachmann’s sociological and economic reading of institutions offers insights for the problem of coordination. (3) Lachmann extends contemporary new institutional theory without simultaneously denying the policy approach of comparative institutional analysis. (90 words.)

Abstract: European Commission funded research is driven by the objective of integrating excellent research in Europe by using public funding to gain momentum and sustainability. This paper presents the results of an analysis of the management patterns of 20 Networks of Excellence. Our analysis indicates an absence of business management competences in the project consortia and unclear criteria for sustainability. Sustainability strategies appear to be ad hoc driven and orchestrated by the project monitoring events, rather than built in the consortia management structure. The paper advocates for bringing onboard conventional management models along with strategic positioning, business models, and business plans.

Abstract: The paper critically reviews the intentional model of power in organizational management from seven different perspectives. It summarizes some of the most debated issues within political science over the recent decades in relation to an intentional understanding of the concept of power. We claim that these issues are also relevant within organizational management and strategy studies, and we point, in particular, to two contemporary research areas, in which the intentional concept of power seems inadequate to further push the research agenda.

Abstract: This is a collection of talks on usability and culture with prominent researchers and practitioners on the Indian interaction design and usability scene: Apala Chavan, Anirudha Joshi, Dinesh Katre, Devashish Pandya, Sammeer Chabukswar, and Pradeep Yammiyavar. I did these talks because for several years I have been the coordinator of a cross cultural research project in India, China and Denmark that aims at investigating the impact of culture on the results of established methods of usability testing. During these years I gradually have come to realize the need for letting the prominent researchers and practitioners in the Indian software industry and university world speak about the big questions in the field. Without this grand context, it is in fact impossible to understand what research experiments will tell us about interaction design and usability in India and abroad. Therefore I first give an introduction to cultural usability and then present the six talks. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6445 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: The dissertation ‘Interactive Approaches to Rural Development’ gives new theoretical and empirical knowledge in the collaboration on development of rural areas and landscapes. From a perspective about the development and the challenges faced, the study analyses which functions that are demanded by the rural areas. Furthermore, the study makes an analysis of the collaboration in an EU financed rural development association; the Local Action Group (LAG). The overall objective is to: Analyse and discuss approaches to rural development under Danish conditions. The dissertation is cantered around three papers introduced with a frame that contributes to the overall objective. With point of departure in the changes that have structured the Danish landscape, the first paper analyses and discusses how the Danish planning system can be optimized to plan for a multifunctional landscape. Paper two and three builds on the EU rural development policy LEADER that through local project based development supports new income opportunities for the local inhabitants. Collaboration on the rural development is a subject that requires an interdisciplinary analytical approach. The dissertation therefore builds on different theories and both qualitative and quantitative analytical methods. The theoretical foundation draws on generic network theory and various applications of this. This is conducted by inclusion of ideas from interorganisational interaction in an analysis of the collaboration between municipality and a locally anchored development association. In addition the theory of social capital is applied to analyse whether the partnership formation and collaboration has supported the development of the local area. Furthermore, the concept of multifunctionality is assessed as a principle to be applied in countryside planning and rural development. The empirical foundation of the dissertation draws on mixed method research approach with interviews and surveys that are studied through qualitative and quantitative data analyses. Two of the three papers take point of departure in a case study of LAG-Djursland. Based on the dissertation it is concluded, that a crucial factor in the development of rural areas and landscapes is the collaboration among relevant stakeholders– often arranged around a partnership. To secure a concrete and locally attuned development it is important to engage local anchored stakeholders. These stakeholders have the greatest knowledge about the local development opportunities and barriers. Though the dissertation builds on experiences from the Danish rural landscape, the analyses, discussions and conclusions will be relevant in an international perspective. The interactive approach and the analysis hereof will be applicable in other domains than that of rural development. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8592 Files in this item: 1

Abstract: Erhvervsrettet forskning i ledelse foregår i vidt omfang i samarbejde med virksomheder, der selv arbejder med forskningens problemstillinger. Det betyder, at der forskes i et felt, der selv reflekterer over de problemstillinger, der undersøges, og som kan bidrage til videnproduktionen på mange andre måder end som "rå data". Forskerne kommer med mange forskellige relationer til feltet. Fra en rolle som ren observatør, over rollen som forskende konsulent til egentlig praktiker, der forsker i sit eget miljø. Derfor er det interessant som forsker indenfor dette område at se på metodiske tilgange, der nyttiggør feltets og forskerens egne indsigter i de problemstillinger, der søges belyst, og som direkte kan understøtte aktørernes egen håndtering af disse. Det er interessant ud fra en "traditionel" universitetsbaseret forskningssynsvinkel, og det er interessant i den bredere diskussion af, hvordan virksomhederne styrker deres egen evne til "forskningsbaseret" refleksion over egen praksis. Aktionsforsknings traditionen har sit udgangspunkt i forskernes samspil med et reflekterende felt og er derfor en vigtig metodisk inspirationskilde til den erhvervsorienterede forskning. Men aktionsforskningen er ikke konsolideret som én fælles forskningstradition. Der er derimod udviklet en række forskningsmetodiske tilgange såsom: Aktionsforskning, Action science, Sociologisk fantasi, Bruger/borger involvering i udviklingsprojekter, Dialogforskning, Reflective practice, Action learning, Appreciative inquiry, Communities of Inquiry in Communities of practice, Clinical inquiry (Baskerville 1996). Metoderne er udviklet i relation til det felt eller problemstilling, som forskergrupperne var engagerede i, og kun enkelte er tænkt ind i en erhvervsforskningskontekst. Denne mangfoldighed har ført til, at det enkelte erhvervsforskningsprojekti stort omfang har skullet definere sit eget ståsted for sin interaktion med feltet, opstille sineegne kriterier for etik, kvalitet og generaliserbarhed af resultater og så fremdeles.

Assessing the Impact of Global Economics on Industrial Developments and Inter-Ethnic Relations in Penang, MalaysiaJacobsen, Michael (Frederiksberg, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Due to the increasingly integration and thus inter-dependency between the global economy, a given national economy and their societal embedment a triangulation between the three elements is a must if one is to understand the dynamic processes between them. This article focuses especially on the national economic and societal aspects of such a triangulation thus positioning the national dependencies of the global economy in the background. The notion of triangulation is perceived by the author to be more holistic and relational oriented compared to an approach based on decoupling. The latter aims through sector defined studies to assess the level of connectivity between global and national economics as well as between them and their societal embedment in order to detect whether there are potential fault-lines between the three thus mitigating the notion of decoupling. This article applies a triangular approach on the electronic and electrical manufacturing sector in Penang. It concentrates in particular on how companies within this sector relate to pertinent governmental initiated industry policies and the impact of the inter-ethnic related affirmative action policy in this connection. The global aspect of the triangulation has thus been put on a back burner in this study, as the article emphasises the importance of pointing towards the inter-dependency between the political, the inter-ethnic and the economic sectors in Penang, as they are perceived to condition each other.

Abstract: Dette Working Paper indeholder nogle foreløbige resultater af en analyse af den diskursive praksis som den kom til udtryk i de ansvarlige ministres kommunikation under kogalskabskrisen i Danmark og Spanien i 2000 og 2001. Working Paperet fokuserer på den daværende danske fødevareminister Ritt Bjerregaards interaktion med landmændene og tager sit metodiske udgangspunkt i den kritiske diskursanalyse. Analysen viser at på trods af de fremtrædende handelsøkonomiske og politiske promoveringsdiskurser kommer landbrugsreformer og etik til at fremstå som det man hæfter sig ved i talen. Dette hjælpes på vej retorisk via appeller til fælles sandheder og konstant inddragelse og iscenesættelse af landmændene som tilhørende et interessefællesskab hvor det handler om at skabe et bæredygtigt landbrug baseret bl.a. på dyrevelfærd, økologi og miljø. Denne artikel skal ses som et diskussionsoplæg, hvor jeg vil lægge op til refleksion over begreberne kohærens, diskurs og argumentation ved at vise en analyse foretaget inden for rammerne af Faircloughs version af den kritiske diskursanalyse (1992, 1995, 2000, 2003). Analysen er en del af en større undersøgelse af politisk kommunikation, men vil her fokusere på to aspekter af det Fairclough kalder ’diskursiv praksis’, nemlig 1) hvordan forskellige diskurser kommer ind i en tekst (interdiskursivitet) og 2) hvordan teksten lægger op til en bestemt fortolkning (kohærens). Den diskursive begivenhed denne artikel vil behandle er en tale Ritt Bjerregaard holdt på Landbrugsraadets Årsmøde i maj 2001. Tekstens kontekst er BSE-sagen, der involverede hele EU for et par år siden, og tidspunktet ligger efter at de værste kontroverser om kompensationsordninger mv. mellem den daværende landbrugsminister og landbrugets repræsentanter havde fundet sted. Talen tager således sit afsæt i fortiden, men dens formål er fremadskuende og handler mest om hvordan Danmark, Europa og især landmændene skal komme videre efter at have været sendt til tælling økonomisk og omdømmemæssigt af BSE, mund-og klovsyge og andre fødevarekriser. Historien her kommer dog ikke til at handle så meget om selve sagen og dens forløb; jeg har i stedet valgt at fokusere på de kommunikative aspekter i diskursanalysen. Mit formål er på længere sigt at videreudvikle Faircloughs analysebegreber ’interdiskursivitet’ og ’kohærens’, som jeg mener er områder han ikke har udfoldet helt i sin tilgang til kritisk diskursanalyse. Undersøgelsen skal på et tidspunkt ende med at fortælle noget om hvad henholdsvis Ritt Bjerregaard og den spanske landbrugsminister Miguel Arias Cañete fik ud af kogalskabskrisen. Indgik den fx som en kærkommen lejlighed til at forsøge at sætte ETISKE spørgsmål ved landbrugsproduktion, blev den brugt i et POLITISK ærinde til at argumentere for mere lovgivning, handlede den måske kun om at få ØKONOMIEN til at fungere igen, eller var det en blanding af alle tre (og flere med måske) synsvinkler? Og i givet fald, hvis alle disse rationaliteter var i spil samtidig, hvad lod ministeren så stå tilbage som den enkle konklusion borgeren og landmanden kunne drage?

Abstract: This paper examines the influence of European integration on the relationship between state administration and private interests in the four Nordic countries – Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland. By private interests I mean interest organizations, private corporations and independent experts. The paper focuses exclusively on the national policy processes that are involved with managing European Union (EU) issues. More specifically, this paper discusses two aspects of multi-level governance. First is the important role of private interests in the coordination of decision making at the national level preceding their government’s representation of national interests in the European Council of Ministers and other EU organizations. Second is the effect of all this on national democratic systems. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7346 Files in this item: 1
